This Thursday night, the NBA program is very light with only four games on the menu. Not the posters of the century we claim, but still a Lakers – Magic worth it. And what’s more, it rhymes.
The NBA program in the evening
- 1h : Hornets – Pistons
- 1h30 : Raptors – Wolves
- 2h : Spurs – Jazz
- 4h30 : Lakers – Magic
The 7 passes for the Lakers?
Since their terrible journey between the end of October and the beginning of November (4 losses in 5 games), the Lakers have not lost: 6 games, 6 victories. They certainly took advantage of a super cheap schedule (Sixers, Raptors, Grizzlies, Spurs, Pelicans, Jazz) but they still have work to do.
Tonight, it’s a competitive team that will be going up against LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Magic, who were also on a six-game winning streak before falling to the Clippers yesterday, have one of the best defenses in the NBA as well as a Franz Wagner in All-Star mode without Paolo Banchero. Will it be enough to cool JJ Redick’s crowd?
Answer from 4:30 am
But also…
- LaMelo Ball vs. Cade Cunningham, obviously!
- Jakob Poeltl vs. Rudy Gobert, also clear!
- Spurs – Jazz without Victor Wembanyama, impossible to see.
The French on the bridge
- Tidjane Salaün and Moussa Diabaté against the Pistons.
- Rudy Gobert in Toronto.
- Sidy Cissoko against Jazz?
